Virtue of the month: Fortitude: The cardinal virtue of Fortitude enables on to endure difficulties and pain for the sake of what is good. Fortitude looks like: aiming to perfect our emotions in face of difficult situations, strengthening the will in the pursuit of the good, and overcoming fear and moderates anger in the face of trials.
Blessed Chiara Luce Badano is the saint associated with this virtue.

Mathematics
Number Corner for March: The March Calendar Grid features telling time to the hour and half-hour on both digital and analog clocks, and students explore elapsed time as they determine the time between each marker. Coins return to the Calendar Collector, and students practice counting mixed sets of dimes, nickels, and pennies to determine their total value. This month they review strategies for solving equations within 20 and learn how to “think ten” when adding numbers with sums greater than 10. The Number Line and Days in School workouts both introduce students to numbers beyond 100.
Bridges Unit 5 Module 1: Module 1 focuses completely on two‑dimensional shapes, particularly those found in the pat‑ tern blocks (triangles, trapezoids, squares, hexagons, and rhombuses), plus rectangles. The work with shapes includes comparing, distinguishing defining attributes from non-defining, and developing problem-solving strategies. Students use pattern blocks to create composite shapes and solve puzzles, and practice drawing the shapes each day.
